• Understanding Cantilever Racks

• Cantilever Rack Components
• Base The foundation, connecting the rack to the
  floor, ensuring stability and weight
  distribution.
• Uprights These vertical supports connect the
  base and hold the cantilever arms. Available in
  single-sided and double-sided configurations.
• Arms Attached to uprights, these support long
  and heavy items, optimizing storage.
• Braces Form diagonals connecting upright
  columns, providing essential support, preventing
  sway due to stored items' weight.

• How Cantilever Racks Can Help Distribution
  Centers Maximize Space

• Storage of Long, Bulky Items Cantilever racks
  feature horizontal arms and upright columns for
  easy loading of oversized items like lumber and
  pipes, enhancing storage versatility.
• Optimized Density Efficient use of both
  horizontal and vertical space boosts storage
  capacity, improving overall efficiency.
• Vertical Space Utilization With heights ranging
  from 6 to 30 feet, cantilever racks maximize
  vertical storage, eliminating wasted overhead
  space and the need for additional storage areas.
